Fast parallel molecular solutions for DNA-based supercomputing: the subset-product problem.

In this paper our main purpose is to give molecular solutions for the subset-product problem. In order to achieve this, we propose three DNA-based algorithms--parallel adder, parallel multiplier and parallel comparator--that formally verify our designed molecular solutions for the subset-product problem. We also show that Boolean circuits are not needed to perform mathematical operations on a molecular computer. Furthermore, this work indicates that the subset-product problem is solved and also presents clear evidence of the ability of molecular computing to perform complicated mathematical operations.

Fast parallel molecular algorithms for DNA-based computation: factoring integers.

The RSA public-key cryptosystem is an algorithm that converts input data to an unrecognizable encryption and converts the unrecognizable data back into its original decryption form. The security of the RSA public-key cryptosystem is based on the difficulty of factoring the product of two large prime numbers. This paper demonstrates to factor the product of two large prime numbers, and is a breakthrough in basic biological operations using a molecular computer. In order to achieve this, we propose three DNA-based algorithms for parallel subtractor, parallel comparator, and parallel modular arithmetic that formally verify our designed molecular solutions for factoring the product of two large prime numbers. Furthermore, this work indicates that the cryptosystems using public-key are perhaps insecure and also presents clear evidence of the ability of molecular computing to perform complicated mathematical operations.

Molecular solutions for the subset-sum problem on DNA-based supercomputing.

In this paper our main purpose is to give molecular solutions for the subset-sum problem. In order to achieve this, we propose a DNA-based algorithm of an n-bit parallel adder and a DNA-based algorithm of an n-bit parallel comparator to formally verify our designed molecular solutions for the subset-sum problem.
